TAR Archiver for C# / .NET

Minimal C# implementation for creating TAR archive (.tar/.tar.gz/.tgz)

This library is built based on the codes from SharpCompress library with:

Sample

日本語

TarStream を開いて string、byte[] または Stream を書き込むだけで tar アーカイブが作れます。System.IO.Compression と組み合わせて .tar.gz（.tgz）も作成できます。

Not complicated. The only feature is creating TAR archive from string, byte[] or Stream without any temporary file creation.

Thanks to System.IO.Compression library, you can also create .tar.gz (.tgz) archive on the fly.

using SatorImaging.TarArchiver;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Compression;

public class Sample
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        if (args.Length == 0 || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(args[0]))
            throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(args));

        // open TAR stream and export as a .tar.gz format
        using (var targz = new FileStream(args[0], FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
        using (var gzip = new GZipStream(targz, CompressionLevel.Optimal))
        using (var tar = new TarStream(gzip))
        {
            // writing data
            tar.Write(@"path/to/the/file.txt", @"Hello, World.");
            tar.Write(@"path/with/multibyte/文字列.txt", @"ひらがなカタカナ漢字");
            tar.Write(@"yet-another-folder/byteArray.txt", new byte[] { 84, 65, 82, 13, 10 });  //TAR[CR][LF]
            tar.Write(@"root.txt", "");
            tar.Flush();  // done in TarStream.Dispose() anyway
        }

    }
}
